Review Contest ~ Featured Review
Jaynie Ritchie wins this month's review contest
with her review of The Persuader by Lee Child -- a book
I really want to read! I'm sending Jaynie a copy of Eileen Dreyer's
With A Vengence.
Jaynie writes, "Thank you so much for choosing
my review. I can't wait to read With a Vengence. I'm sure
you will love reading The Persuader, and all of Lee Child's
Jack Reacher books. I love them.
"I am a stay-at-home mother of two and use reading to escape
the days little dramas. I usually read crime and mystery novels
with the odd suspense thrown in to get the blood pressure up.
I live in Melbourne, Australia."
Here's her winning review ...
Date: 05/23/03
Book Title: Persuader
Author: Lee Child
Reviewed By: Jaynie Ritchie
It's Saturday night in Boston and Jack Reacher sees
a dead man. This chance encounter with an old foe leads
him down a dark path as he finds himself up against evil,
and deep in trouble. The body count is high and the pace
is fast, with surprise twists along the way. Reacher's past
has come back to haunt him as old ghosts must be put to
rest.
For Reacher, it's personal. There is no black and white,
no right and wrong, only justice. Justice for the past that
Reacher was powerless to prevent; and justice for the present
where he hopes to make things right. Reacher finds himself
trying to find an undercover DEA agent who is missing in
action. Her mission is off the books and her only hope of
survival is Reacher.
Persuader is Lee Child's seventh foray into the world
of ex-military cop Jack Reacher. Child writes wonderful
dialogue and breathtaking description. The first-person
narrative brings Reacher closer to the reader and marks
a return to the successful style that made Killing Floor
such a hit. If you're a fan of Reacher, you won't be disappointed.
If you're new to the game, prepare to get hooked.
